Charlottesville, Va: Pitchstone Publishing, 2010
A lively and entertaining novel about jazz, psychoanalysis, and the Jewish experience, the Vienna Jazz Trio is framed by an interview with an aging Nathan Mentzel, who relates his life as a piano player and satirist. His story begins in cosmopolitan Vienna in the 1920s, where he and two friends formed a jazz ensemble amid the ideological debates and growing anti-Semitism of the era, continues through the suffering and devastation of the Holocaust, and ends with a thrilling operation against two Nazis living in a La Jolla luxury villa. At times melancholy and always moving, the Vienna Jazz Trio speaks to the indomitable spirit of youth and the dignity of man
